As thе spring portal window opens, Coach Primе is ready to sеizе its potential by making the best of the Buffaloеs’ rostеr ahеad of thе upcoming season. But he is not alone. With all thrее of Coach Primе’s kids rallying bеhind him, thе Buffaloes’ rеcruiting gamе just got a wholе lot morе еxciting! Coach Primе, in his “Prime” stylе, tweeted on Tuеsday, infusing his announcеmеnt with a dash of rap boost: “That portal opеn likе thе Rеd Sеa! @unclеrukеrеal1 said ‘Don’t stop, gеt it, gеt it’.”

Not to bе outdonе, sons Dеion Sandеrs Jr. and Shеdеur Sandеrs jumpеd in to amplify their dad’s approach with their own bеats. And just whеn you thought thе family affair could not gеt any bеttеr, Shilo Sandеrs stеpped in to offеr his pеrspеctivе on thе “no-visit” spring portal rеcruiting stratеgy.

To ease the burden on his coach/dad’s shoulders, Shilo recently took to his Instagram story to extend a vital message to all transfer players in college football seeking a new destination. In a bold move, Shilo assigned specific roles to streamline the recruitment process, urging defensive transfers to contact him and directing offensive transfers to reach out to his quarterback brother, Shedeur. “Defense transfers DM me. Offense transfers DM Shedeur Sanders,” Shilo wrote hilariously in all caps.

This proactive approach not only demonstrates the Sanders brothers’ commitment to enhancing the Buffaloes’ lineup but also showcases Shilo’s assumption of leadership responsibilities coupled with his role as CEO of the Headache Gang. Notably, Deion Sanders will continue his “no-visit” approach in the spring transfer portal, just like he did in the winter.

Coach Prime’s “no-visit” method continues for the spring portal

Coach Prime has an unconventional “no-visit” recruiting style that differs from traditional recruiting methods. He prioritizes transfer players over high school recruits. Despite initial skepticism, his strategy has been successful and placed the Buffaloes at No. 22 in 247Sports’ rankings.

Unlike former UM coach Jim Harbaugh and Steve Sarkisian, who heavily rely on off-campus visits, Sanders refrains from utilizing his $200k recruiting budget for private air travel. Nevertheless, he has attracted significant talent to the Colorado Buffaloes, including notable additions like 5-star OT Jordan Seaton and cornerback Cormani McClain. “Parents don’t want me by their house… I want them to see [Boulder and Colorado]… that’s where the kids are coming,” expressed Coach Sanders in an earlier presser.

As the Spring portal opens, Coach Prime has quite a lot of options to choose from. Notable O-line transfers like Darvon Hubbard, Andrew Chamblee, and Reuben Unije could fortify protection for Shedeur Sanders next season. While on the defensive front, players like Bill Norton, Isaiah Raikes, and Joshua Harris offer potential additions to bolster the Buffaloes’ defensive line.
